The North Kapunda HotelSYFY USA airing:

Long known as Australia’s Most Haunted Pub – The North Kapunda Hotel is situated at 50 Main Street Kapunda.

  Kapunda has long held the title “Australia’s Most Haunted Town” and gained national notoriety after the release of the documentary “Kapunda: Most Haunted Town in the Western World” in 2001.
  The documentary featured investigations by television host Warwick Moss of 1990s supernatural TV show “The Extraordinary”.

The North Kapunda Hotel garnered international interest after it was featured on TV show Haunting: Australia in episode 7. The show featured local paranormal investigator, Allen Tiller, founder of Eidolon Paranormal, SA Paranormal and The Haunts of Adelaide investigating in his local pub alongside team members Robb Demarest, Ray Jorden, Gaurav Tiwari, Rayleen Kable and Ian Lawman.

The hotel has operated since 1849 and received extensions and upgrades in 1866 by then-owner James Crase.
  Over the years the hotel, which is the central focal point of the town, has seen its rooms used by Prince Alfred, 2^nd son of Queen Victoria, State Parliament, Circus troops, travelling salesmen, social clubs and much much more!

The hotel is said to be haunted by a number of spirits, including Sir Sidney Kidman, Dr MHS Blood, former owners Henry Fairclough & Denis Horgan, a former travelling scissor-grinder, prostitutes, children and a dark shadow man with a bad temper!

If you are visiting South Australia, head north on the Max Fatchen expressway to Gawler, then onto the Theile highway to Kapunda – and whilst in the town don’t miss the Museum, the haunted Information Centre, the Haunted Court House, The basement museum in the Kapunda Bakery and just a little out of town the amazing Anlaby house and gardens!
